I have wide gap in the gate ... not sure how to fix the gate ...

If the gap is between the gate and the panel that touches the wall then the pegs that fasten it against the wall need to be tightened. Top and bottom pegs must be tightened the same. If the top is not tightened as much as the bottom it will leave a gap at the top that keep the latch from closing.

You have to tighten the wall screws in the doorway and the gap should close up.

I gave u the answer for the wrong arch. Just looked at the picture and realized that the one in the picture is not a good buy unless u plan to do a lot of repairs.All of the joints have a plastic connector that split and I had to rivet every joint to keep it together; my suggestion is to buy the arch with the gate.better built.

I looked at the different extensions compatible with the gate system. I played with measurement numbers. For instance, start with the longest extension and add another until you exceed the desired number. Then, consider the other shorter extensions until you get as close to 48.5" as possible. Remember, the system comes with arms at the top and bottom that compensate for about 3" on each side. I hope this helps. Best wishes!

Sorry I measured the wrong gate. This gate I have set at almost 60". There is about 4" of adjustment with the screws. I used two extensions to get to the 60".

My husband said he'd omit the pin and replace it with a nut and bolt. We have not had anyone do this to our gate, yet! Good luck!

Kacie, just off the top of my head, I really don't know or know if they have come out with wider gates. My opening is 34 3/4" with one extension. If you put a extension on both sides, maybe or if you added 2x4's on each side to pick up some slack you might be able to get the gate to work, but then you reach a point where the gate becomes a little weak, the whole gate. The better you can use the gate with out to much add ons (extensions) the more sturdy and stronger the gate. It is a great gate, maybe the mfg has made wider gates, would hurt to ask, like I say it is a great doggie gate and would work great for a child gate. bryan Kacie, just off the top of my head, I really don't know or know if they have come out with wider gates.

This is a hardware mounted gate on both sides so you will need to drill into both sides. The mounts need to be drilled into a flat surface.

No, there should not be a gap. I would contact the seller and let them what's going on. I would read the reviews and product review before buying any item.

The only think I can think of is to check to see how you have it adjusted for the span of the opening so that it is not putting pressure on the frame and distorting it to where the closure is binding up. Or, you can check the pins where the gate pivots and see if they are binding or need lubrication. I have not had ANY issue with opening / closing the gate.

bad installation. It means you screwed the top parts too tight. There should be a spot where you could see red and green when you are installing the gate. You should be able to see all the green and no red when screwing the gate in. *i actually don't remmeber if it was all red or all green. If one doesn't work, try the other. :S

No, and not all have that gap. It is merely a matter of the rod sticking out a bit further from some housings than from others. If you saw a schematic of the parts, it would make more sense. Think of it as a guillotine (that's what it is, by the way, a guillotine gate valve). All it takes is a bit of design variance in the height of the housing, length of the rod, or height of the gate to cause this. The actual 'seal' occurs because of two rubber o-rings inside each gate-block face. In fact, the valve is actually closed BEFORE you have pushed it completely to the closed-position, anyway.

Usually it is getting attached to the middle of the gate. But it is always depends of the design of your gate, so you may have to to attach some sort of extension panel to it to make it work.

You need to pop off the plastic covers on the hinges and tighten them. I had the same problem but it's a really easy fix.

For the close install that I did, there are points on this gate latch that can be ground down to gain necessay clearances. Otherwise, I'd have to go outside to measure and it is very cold with fresh snow so at this moment, I'll pass on the measuring, at least 'til this afternoon.

It is normal. Just tighten the wall screws and that will push the gate inwards from both sides making the gap close. But you need to do some real tightening for that.

I ended up using a gate I bought from home depot. I just used some screws to install it and was cheap and easy.

I don't have gap on mine. The hinges have wiggle room but i recall adding some wedge type wood to make the close flush
